Not a Hero

Eleven-year-old Mivan has been raised in the city. Now, he is sent to his family’s ancestral village to stay with his young aunt, Pahi. Used to the rhythms and comforts of urban life, Mivan finds the village slow, unfamiliar and unwelcoming. His relationship with Pahi is also distant, shaped by unspoken tensions and unresolved feelings from the past. As he is drawn into village routines, goes to school and develops new friendships, he begins to experience a world where time moves differently and nothing comes easily. Due to his quiet presence, buried emotions within the household begin to surface. Without recourse to grand gestures, the film observes the gentle transformation of a child – and of adults who rediscover what they have long left behind.
